Memory

Memories are funny things, funny because of what triggers them. For example every time I use my hair dryer I remember the time one summer day when I was using my hair dryer and my Mother knocked on the bathroom door. I thought she was going to tell me that I needed to hurry up and get out of the bathroom, but instead she was telling me that my grandfather (Gramps) had just died. It still hurts now to write this down and share with you all, but it is something I have to write down. So because of this simple sentence my life was changed, changed because I would never again hear my Gramps sing songs to me or take me for a drive in the truck to get the ice cream he had just called the restaurant for on the phone. The good thing that comes from this story is that I have another memory, the memory that I will see my Gramps again.
 I just have a short blog this time because I like short stories! Next blog will be different it may be longer :) 
Until next time

Well....

Hello! How has everyone been? I am fine. I finally remembered my password for this and decided to write something new, so here it goes.
A lot has happened since the last time I wrote you all, so much in fact I won't tell you everything! But here is a brief summery: I gradutated from the program at Holland College and I am now a cetified ECE (Early Childhood Educator), I also have the first year certificate from Martime Christian College. Each took a lot of strength and endurance (on my part) to complete,they were the hardest three years of my life but because of them I am well educated. Now your probably wondering about what I have done with the rest of my time, when I was not in school. Those days were filled up with going to the beach a few times, eating out, going to the movies, spending money on movies for my collection, making a new friend that I will have for the rest of my life, starting to exercise (a shock to my system and friends!), and just general living of life. So my reader(s) that is all for now, I may be back again soon or I may be back again in a year, who knows!
Until then.
